Pat Fitzmaurice· Sep 11, 2025
Fitzmaurice gave his own Week 2 wide receiver rankings, placing AJ Brown as a bounce-back WR9, Garrett Wilson at 12, Jameson Williams at 24, DK Metcalf down at 25, Calvin Ridley at 30 and Ricky Pearsall at 31. He also argued Chris Olave will be a playable WR3 all season.
“I think the sheer target volume and catch volume Chris olave has is going to make him a wide receiver three, a playable wide receiver three all year long.”
